The Overtones Podcast explores and celebrates lesser heard voices within Christianity, both in the past as well as today. It is hosted by LaRae Cherukara, Joe Rhee, and Christy Wang of the Overtones Project. We talk to Christian academics, professionals, missionaries, and church workers, and each of them has an extraordinary story to tell about themselves, about their work, and about God. In Season 1, we will engage topics such as war and humanitarian aid, cults and evangelism in South Korea, Puritans and same-sex desires, and finally, what it feels like to be a single female church worker in the UK. So listen with us, and let us discover together the beauty and wonder of the lives of other Christians.

S2E10. Invited to the Banquet: Reaching Out Through Disability (3 of 5)
Over a billion people in the world have a significant disability, yet 90% of them will go through life never hearing the Good News. How can Christians reach out to people with disabilities? What difficulties might disabled people face upon arriving at our churches? What does the Gospel have to say about the value of all people?
Amberle Brown (co-founder of The Banquet Network) joins the Overtones Podcast to share her story of becoming blind, and how, through her disability, the Lord opened opportunities for ministry to disabled people. Amberle describes how churches can welcome people with disabilities, and shares her wisdom on how we can love and serve our disabled brothers and sisters.
Book Recommendation: Disability and the Gospel by Michael Beates
